£22.88
Per hour
Full time, Permanent
(40 hours per week)
Piccadilly Theatre, Denman St, W1D 7DY

Key information

The focus of the role is on selling as many tickets, memberships, packages, and other ancillary products as possible combined with providing the best customer experience. You’ll motivate, train, support and rota other members of the Ticketing team to similarly sell and cross-sell too, working to sales targets and budget projections.

About the role

You’ll be a confident user of technology and ticketing systems and relish the opportunities technology can provide to optimise sales and the customer experience. You’ll develop an excellent relationship with our producers and provide them with a first-class service – whether that is reporting to them in an agreed format or manging their ticket allocations successfully.

You will be a skilful communicator, with a keen understanding of the needs of stakeholders, both internal and external, with the ability to navigate multiple priorities and demands. Finally, you’ll lead by example, being pleasant and collaborative in your approach, liaising and communicating effectively with members of the audience and key stakeholders such as Marketing and Revenue Management; Ticketing Operations, Memberships and Creative Learning internally, as well as Producers externally in order to achieve the goal of maximising sales and minimising costs.

The box office opens to counter customers for 90 minutes prior to each show, and whilst the majority of our sales are carried out either online or via the ATG Contact Centre, you will be expected to work a portion of your hours covering this counter time. In the absence of yourself or your Deputy, this counter time will be resourced by a pool of casual Customer Services Hosts, and you will have responsibility for the training, line management and performance of these staff members, in line with their Job Description.
